INTRODUCTION

Get ready for a challenge! We have compiled 1,500 Questions and Answers on the Bible that are going to show how much, or how little, you, or those you quiz, know about Scripture.

Unfortunately, most will discover “how little” as these quizzes are certainly not designed to be easy. The good news is, that if you keep taking the quizzes over and over again, you will begin to acquire a great deal of knowledge concerning the Scripture.

The purpose of these quizzes is not to make anyone feel stupid, but to challenge them to learn more! If you can master all 30 series (1,500 questions) you most likely will know more about the Bible than anyone else you will ever come across.

These questions do not call for knowledge of genealogical tables, but of the main Bible characters. They do not call for the details of Jewish history, and not a single date is asked for in all the fifteen hundred questions; but they do insist upon knowledge of the Bible’s most significant and interesting events, from cover to cover.

The questions are not theological – perhaps some would find them easier if they were, for then they could air their theories; but they call for an acquaintance with the most beautiful and uplifting sentences and passages in all the sixty-six books of the Bible, the inspired wisdom on which all theology is based – or ought to be.

How to Use: Use these questions to test yourself, your Sunday School Class, your Youth Group, your Bible Study, your Teachers, your Family, etc…

*There are 30 Series with 50 Questions each.

*Each question is worth 2 points (multiply the number right x2 and you’ll have your score)

*You can use the quizzes in any order you want, but we suggest doing one series over and over until you have mastered most of the content. Once you know all 50 questions, move onto the next one.

*If you want, you can print out a copy of the quiz and hand it out ahead of time, giving everyone a time to study (it’s entirely up to you).

We have used the King James Version in compiling these questions/answers as that is the most familiar and widely used.
